Technology for firefighters: Part 1
Follow along with GlobalSpec to explore some of the technology developed for firefighters in this two-part feature. Part one will look at robots and tracking technology.
New gage designed for hazardous area inspection
Cygnus Instruments, a manufacturer of digital multiple echo technology, has developed its new Cygnus 1 Ex gage.
Kuka launches new industrial robot
The new KR Fortec features an extended arm capable of handling payloads of roughly 240 kg across a reach of 3,700 mm.
A tool for smart coatings analysis and connected measurements
The new analyzer includes a proportional counter detector for routine measurements of common platings and user-friendly features designed to enhance high-volume testing needs.
This robot picks up and places objects in an unfamiliar house
To create such a robot, the team outfitted a system from manufacturer Hello Robot with visual language models (VLMs), which enabled the robot to recognize objects based on language prompts.
Introducing MEMDOS SMART: Next-gen stepper motor-driven dosing pumps for precision chemical dosing
Key features of the MEMDOS SMART dosing pump include a compact design that saves space, making it the most space-efficient step motor pump in its class.
Exploring transfer learning for deep learning applications
Transfer learning is the process of applying knowledge gained from solving one problem to another problem that is related but distinct.
Yokogawa provides remote operation/monitoring system and video monitoring solution for Japan's largest wind farm
The remote operation and monitoring system includes a video system for the monitoring of all the offshore and onshore wind power generating facilities at this wind farm.
Device allows for real-time tracking of the cold chain
The new device allows for real-time tracking of perishable shipments by providing temperature, humidity, light, shock and location data.
Online platform brings satellite-captured ET data down to Earth
Researchers conducted a multi-model, large-scale accuracy assessment of an operational satellite-based data system to compute evapotranspiration (ET).
HENSOLDT launches its new Cockpit Voice and Flight Data Recorder (CVFDR)
Sensor solution provider HENSOLDT has launched its new product dubbed the Cockpit Voice and Flight Data Recorder (CVFDR).
Team trains robot to read braille at double the speed of humans
The team created machine learning algorithms to teach the robotic sensor to swiftly slide over lines of braille text, reading at an estimated 315 words per minute with roughly 90% accuracy.
Social robots engaging patients at Paris hospital
The Heriot-Watt University's National Robotarium Socially Assistive Robots in Gerontological Healthcare (SPRING) trial was conducted at the Assistance Publique Hôpitaux de Paris.
This fuel cell draws clean power from dirt
The design harnesses naturally occurring soil microbes to generate electricity and power sensors to monitor soil moisture.
Personal AC on industrial vehicles is a safety essential, not a luxury
The Cabin Cool system directs cool air onto vehicle operators without limiting their movement, disturbing their line of or otherwise interfering with their normal activities.
Data acquisition recorder line expanded with new modular solution
B&K Precision, a manufacturer of test and measurement instruments, has announced the expansion of its Data Acquisition Recorder line with its DAS1800.
